Today, Converse Inc. announces the launch of the new Converse CONS Breakpoint Collection, an exclusive pack of sneakers created in partnership with four cutting-edge European retailers – Patta in Amsterdam, Solebox in Berlin, Footpatrol in London and Starcow in Paris. The footwear collaboration sees influential stores in iconic European cities offering their individual creative twist to the Converse CONS Breakpoint sneaker, with each creating a silhouette that is inspired by their unique local culture.

“We’re really excited to celebrate the launch of the new Converse CONS Breakpoint sneaker in partnership with four cultural heavyweights, and be able to share the inspirational creative vision of their cities through the Breakpoint Zine,” said Martina Luger, Brand Director Converse EMEA.

Every Converse CONS Breakpoint sneaker in the collection is loaded with carefully balanced premium materials - including nubuck leather, hairy suede, rip-stop nylon and heavy cotton twill - with each store adding their own subtle flavors through color blocking, outsole finishes and textural juxtaposition. All of the designs feature the iconic Star Chevron mark, a mix of tonal and contrast laces, partner logos on the heel tabs and sockliners, as well as lightweight cushioning for added comfort.
